The people just get to take part in an electoral circus every few years to pretend like they have a choice. Also keeps the working class divided among two parties and decreases the chances of a revolution for a better system; thus protecting the capitalist ruling class.
This is exactly how they want you to think. It’s disempowering. It’s a kind of fatalistic politics of inevitability that keeps the masses docile and resigned.
What keeps the working class docile and resigned is making them think their bourgeois “democracy” isn’t rigged against them in the first place.
Once someone understands that, they can develop class consciousness and organize to eventually to forcibly change the system to a better one; that has always been the most successful way people have changed their nations for the better.
Today I opened the fridge and two options presented to me was a piece of moldy bread and leftovers that I didn’t particularly fancy. I decided that the only logical option would be to punch myself in the nuts as hard as I can. I will not do anything esle and tomorrow I will open the fridge again hoping something will miraculously change.
Your logical option would’ve been to prepare to go out and buy something else. i.e join a leftist org with the goal of increasing the movement to eventually overthrow the current fucked up system like many nations have done (see below) and try to convince your friends and family to do the same.
And if you’re comparing funding an ongoing genocide with leftovers… Idk what to tell you tbh
Suggesting that bourgeois “democracy” is democratic in the first place lmao. The only ones who have a say in how this poorly veiled oligarchy is run are the ruling class of capitalists. That’s what this system was designed to do in the first place after all.
